Intracranial saccular and abdominal aortic aneurysms (ISAs and AAAs, respectively) result
from different underlying disease processes and exhibit different rupture potentials, yet they …

Background Rupture is the most serious consequence of cerebral aneurysms, and its
likelihood depends on nonmodifiable and modifiable risk factors. Recent efforts have …

Background Newtonian fluid model has been commonly applied in simulating cerebral
blood flow in intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) cases using computational fluid …

Blood flow in the circle of Willis (CoW) is modelled using the 1-D equations of pressure and
flow wave propagation in compliant vessels. The model starts at the left ventricle and …

Background and Purpose—Wall shear stress (WSS) and pressure are important factors in
the development of cerebral aneurysms. We aimed to develop a computational fluid …

Orthopaedic fracture fixation implants are increasingly being designed using accurate 3D
models of long bones based on computer tomography (CT). Unlike CT, magnetic resonance …

A numerical model based on one-dimensional balance laws and ad hoc zero-dimensional
boundary conditions is tested against experimental data. The study concentrates on the …

Transplant studies demonstrate unequivocally that the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN)
produces diffusible signals that can sustain circadian locomotor rhythms. There is a vascular …

Computer simulations play an increasingly important role in the area of medical physics,
from fundamental research to patient specific treatment planning. One particular application …

The shape of the arterial pulse waveform is intimately related to the physical properties of
the cardiovascular system. It is clinically relevant to measure those properties that are …
